Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that some gag gene mutants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) display a replication-defect in a cell-dependent manner. We and others have also demonstrated that the requirement of vif and vpu genes for HIV-1 replication is cell-dependent. To determine whether the cell-dependent growth of the HIV-1 gag mutants is related to the functions of Vif and Vpu, double mutants of...
